Description

Yellow Ahote Kachina by L. Begay – Navajo Hand Carved Wood, Leather, Feathers & Shells

Vibrant Yellow Ahote Kachina by Navajo artist L. Begay, signed on the underside of the wood base. Carved and hand-painted wood construction with natural feathers, fur, shells, leather garments, and painted nailhead accents. The figure holds a gourd rattle and bow, with a bold yellow face, red ear panels, and a dramatic plume headdress—representing courage, leadership, and strength.

A striking example of Navajo folk artistry from the late 20th century, blending traditional symbolism with expressive color and form.

Good overall condition with no visible damage. Minor natural wear to organic materials consistent with age. All elements remain securely attached and well-preserved, presenting beautifully.
